Warning: Some viewers may find this video to be graphic, discretion is advised. A 21-year-old cackling cat-kicker was arrested after police saw a video of the man petting the unknowing cat before punting the the helpless animal.

A man who police say is shown in a video kicking a friendly stray cat and sending it flying through the air has been arrested, according to the New York Daily News.

The video was circulated around Facebook this weekend before authorities saw it on Monday and arrested 21-year-old Andre Robinson of Brooklyn, N.Y. Police say Robinson is shown in that video extending his hand to lure the gray and white tuxedo cat, then when it gets close enough he punts the cat into bushes about 20 feet away.

He and his friends can be heard laughing at the act of animal cruelty.

@azuquita.jones Cruelty to animals is a crime. This behavior is also a sign of a psychopath. A person that could cause pain to an animal for their own amusement would probably also do the same to a human, if they thought they could get away with it.

A Texas veterinarian is being investigated after a dog that was supposedly euthanized six months ago was found alive in a kennel surrounded by his own excrement being used to provide blood transfusions for other canines, NBC 5 reports.
